You would need a new motherboard as well. Not everything is cross compatible you know. There’s a thing called types of processor sockets and different brands. Understand?
Answer #2

Answer #3
Just trying to see if it would be faster to get that with new motherboard
Answer #4
So you got the money for it? If you do go for it at by all means. It will be an astronomical difference. However if you’re primarily a gamer on the budget I would look at the E8xxx chips and if you want a good quad core get the Q9xxx chips or wait a week till the Core i7 chips are released and there’ll be a huge drop in price for all Core 2’s
